When there is only one cpu (or UP), the go backwards issue doesn't exist,

it does exist for single-socket dual core already. And core2 is dual core...

so
don't use cpuid here for UP. Another function init_amd already does so.

not anymore.. that got fixed very recently...
(but you are right; on AMD the speculation is even bigger so there even on single core you need cpuid)
